RECOMBINANT COAT PROTEIN OF NERVOUS NECROSIS-CAUSING VIRUS INFECTING GROUPERS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the recombinant coat proteins of nervous necrosis-causing viruses infecting groupers, and to provide a vaccine using the same, because the prevention of the viral disease by the use of the vaccine is an ideal viral disease measure by which the maximum effect can be expected at the minimum cost. SOLUTION: The recombinant coat protein of a RG type virus among four different gene type viral nervous necrosis-causing viruses having pathogenicity against fishes was obtained. The protein is useful as a vaccine for preventing the infection of the RG type virus infecting the groupers.
